wonderful moments

moments are great, aren't they?once in awhile a moment will hit you.

it's great when it hits while you are actually experiencing the moment. i was working away. cooking dinner and beatrix kept yelling to help. i wasn't being my most patient self and kept refusing her. i stopped. and thought to myself, "self, you really don't want to be one of those mother's that never lets your kids help you in the kitchen just because you want it done faster, do you?" and i knew i didn't. so i pulled up her stool to the counter and got her a butter knife and let her cut up mushroom stems to her hearts content.

i stepped away and looked at her through the camera and thought, "this is one of those moments. and you almost missed it."

welcome!

You have landed yourself at the family blog of Lydia, Matt, Micah, Beatrix and Penelope. We found our way to south Florida 6 years ago already. The sun keeps us hot and the beach keeps us sane. My goal is to not become so busy that we miss out on the beautiful little things that make up our lives. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
